What would you change about the concept/layout/functions?
- Can't we make playlists in Youtube already?
- Youtube's search auto-suggests, yours started playing a silly cartoon when I typed "a".
- Controls are not where I would expect them (they are at bottom left in just about all other video sites in the world).
- There's a weird dotted outline when you click on the video.
- On the top right, there's a link to your profile, which I don't care about, but no link to register/login, which I do.
- "Add" icon is rip-off of Netvibes. Does not add to Netvibes and is confusing.
- How about supporting other video sites?
- Yes it is possible on YT, but you need to login and it is not fast enough for me. I want to find videos while I type and build a list.
- Auto-suggest is already active, you can force exact search by hitting enter.
- 90% Controls have influence on your search results, that's why I put them top left. They need to get attention but shouldn't distract the user, so that's why I chose top left (also the fullscreen looks nice with it)
- The dotted outline is a DIV hack needed to catch mouse clicks for pause/play (since I can't capture clicks from the flash video itself)
- Not having a login/register is one of the main advantages of this site, you build a list, share it and save it that way.
- Add icon was not meant as rip-off from Netvibes (didn't knew they even used it), what do you suggest as a positive 'add this video' icon?
- Supporting other video sites is in the pipeline!
